Increasing consumption of poultry has been associated with piling up enormous wastes in
the amounts of chicken bones that are disposed of in landfills, causing environmental
pollution, odor problems, attraction of vectors, and poor management of this waste. At the
same time, there is an increasing demand for sustainable and locally produced bone-derived
materials for agricultural and food-related applications. Processing bone in existing
technologies is expensive, energy-intensive, and designed for industrial-scale operations,
making them unsuited for small farms or households or microenterprises. The purpose of
this capstone project is to design, fabricate, and evaluate a low-cost, portable pulverizer for
chicken bones, which addresses the problem being discussed here. A hammer mill-based
pulverizing mechanism was developed utilizing a direct drive system with a 220 V single-
phase AC motor, and safety features were embedded on the machine. To make it
economically feasible, materials used were very affordable and locally available. The meat
bones used as a test sample were cleaned, heat-treated, and mechanically processed to test
the performance of the machine. The efficiency of the prototype was evaluated by the
Technological University of the Philippines (TUP) Evaluation System concerning
pulverization efficiency, particle size uniformity, functionality, safety, durability, and cost-
effectiveness. The machine effectively converts processed chicken bones into fine powder
homogeneous in size and can be used in agriculture and possibly food-grade applications,
whereas manual labor and operational risks are reduced.
